Nostalgic memories of Pumpherston's local history

Share your own memories of Pumpherston and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Born and bred in Pumpherston. Went to Pumpherston primary in 1955 to 1960. High school then at West Calder. I remember the days when the milk was place on the radiaters to defrost. I stll hate warm milk to this day. We had our own canteen for lunch in those days. Headmaster was Mr Mckay. Do have some class photos. I will scan in and add to the site. Any body remember me please feel free to contact me. I have lived in Brisbane in Australia since 1976. dm1949@bigpond.net.au
I started school at Pumpherston Primary in 1939. The Head teacher was Mr. Johnson and one other was Miss/Mrs Husband. He was for ever coming into her classroom and usually stood in front of the open fire. What I would like is if anyone has photographs from these years, being war time I do not remember having a class photo. taken.
